Apple most certainly remove the app which exposes them to fraud charges after they get sued for providing a vessel for the scam app. Let's not forget, they would have participated in it by sharing the revenue. AND by loose claim, for not having the shopping cart where you can correct your button-clicking errors or pranks by your dorm buddies or "friends".

I don't think this app should have been pulled off. But instead of "I am rich" it should read "I am stupid".

possible, normally I take my PC somewhere to get fixed, or have someone come out and fix it. It was much more easier to have it done throught the internet. I
just went to their website, scheduled an appointment, and the technician called me right on time! store have <a href="http://www.power-battery.com.au/LAPTOP_BATTERY/SONY.htm">sony</a>, <a href="http://www.power-battery.com.au/LAPTOP_BATTERY/replacement-battery-for-dell.htm">dell</a>

A Valley source is hearing that a major private-equity firm was just days away from making its own bid for Yahoo when the Microsoft bomb hit this morning. (The same source now reports that TWO firms were circling, both big New York-based shops). Without Microsoft in the picture, a private-equity bid for Yahoo would have been a non-starter. Now, however, private equity suddenly looks like a white knight!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/c9b9b914f555374a75811d00mabelTue, 16 Jun 2009 04:21:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/c9b9b914f555374a75811d00

Why does anyone care who bought it? It's their money, shouldn't they be able to buy a $1000 app for their iPhone if they want to? Why does it matter to anyone here...it isn't your money to spend. And if its really worthless, people just won't buy it (well, CAN'T buy it now, since it's removed). Armin was honest about what it did, so they knew what they were getting when (if) they purchased it.

P.S. But also, I don't think Apple should have ever accepted this app into their store. But that's Apple's fault.
I'm just saying, it's an expensive status item, not a scam. A scam is where you lie to people in order to get their money. This was no lie, it was clearly marketed as a useless app. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1fb9b914d2549c48a827d300AdamFri, 08 Aug 2008 10:14:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1fb9b914d2549c48a827d300
I agree that it's not a scam. It's a guy who made a useless status item in the digital realm, and people bought it. Regardless of the people who are idiots and just click on random buttons in a click-to-buy store setting, there were a few people who bought the thing for its intended purpose - to prove to others that they're rich. This is stupid, yes, but people do it all the time. Million-dollar cars aren't the best cars, they're just pretty status items that the owner can brag about. Designer clothes? Fancy weddings? Fine dining? These are all forms of status spending. And the dude's pretty smart, because the iPhone itself was the perfect gathered market of the rich & wasteful. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1fb9b91477539c480127d300HardyFri, 08 Aug 2008 10:08:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1fb9b91477539c480127d300
Actually, I already created an "I Am Poor" and I'm waiting for it to get approved.
It is art, just like I Am Rich, but it is the poor man's I Am Rich app. It is a still art photo of some Mac&Cheese, can of tuna fish and Ramen Noodles. And, everyone can afford it at $0.99.
I'm going for the mass art market :-)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f7a6c797eb59b48ea910e00DThu, 07 Aug 2008 22:54:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f7a6c797eb59b48ea910e00

What does this app do anyway that makes it worth 1k?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/48b9b914e6329b486fac3d00christianThu, 07 Aug 2008 13:37:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/48b9b914e6329b486fac3d00
I can't see how they can justify calling it an application. Some may argue that it displays an image and that alone performs a function but if I compile a default iPhone application in xcode it displays a black screen. Is that called an application? Same goes for any of the flashlight apps that do nothing but display white. Is that an application? No, but they are left in the store. If he charged $20 for it would they have a problem?
I say it's brilliant and let him have it. If someone buys it (not on accident) then this guy deserves the money.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/807a6c7958319b48a90f7800g1o1n1z1o1Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:31:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/807a6c7958319b48a90f7800

Perhaps this was removed in order to justify the $999.99 because now all copies sold are part of a very limited edition run. Supply and demand...

Sorry, but I don;t think it's a scam at all.
I think it's genius; a form of passive performance art.
There are plenty of rich, shallow, materialistic people (in America especially)who would pay for soemthing like this...Think Paris Hilton (maybe she can;t work an Iphone...but, as we all know that doesn;t matter, it;s just being seen using the "it" gadget of the moment.
I can hear her now:
"Oh, you mean, it's pretty, red and looks like a jewel and only people who can drop a G on a jpg will have it...Weeeeeeeeee! Sign me up."
I hope he did make some money, good for him. Entertaining for the rest of us who would see this on somepne's phone and instantly recognize their douchebag status. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/04b9b914cd299b4870b7b500NeverThu, 07 Aug 2008 12:58:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/04b9b914cd299b4870b7b500

Do people here really think this app is a scam on the level of fraud? If I recall correctly, the app's description specifically said that it did nothing and had no functional value. If you ask me, trying to sell something for $1000 while fully admitting that it's completely useless isn't exactly a great scam. If I go door-to-door selling rocks for $1000 and someone buys one, I haven't scammed anybody. I've just found a sucker who's rich enough to buy one.

Apple most certainly remove the app which exposes them to fraud charges after they get sued for providing a vessel for the scam app. Let's not forget, they would have participated in it by sharing the revenue. AND by loose claim, for not having the shopping cart where you can correct your button-clicking errors or pranks by your dorm buddies or "friends". http://www.businessinsider.com/c/04b9b91498f29a489babb500ColelThu, 07 Aug 2008 09:03:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/04b9b91498f29a489babb500

What happens if you try to recover an application from the iTunes Store that has been removed? Say I wipe my iPhone or the apps get screwed (no, really?) and so I recover from iTunes - what if the app no longer exists?
Not that I'd buy the $1,000 version, but say for example those lucky enough to get the tethering app before it got pulled. What if they lose the app?
I know apps are stored on a local backup, but already I've reinstalled an app or two from iTunes because it mysteriously disappeared from the iPhone.

This app would have been approved quickly because it had ZERO COMPLEXITY. It would have taken 30 seconds to review the code. Stop your whining. If anything it probably gave the code reviewer a good laugh and made that day less tedious.

I send this morning a complaint concerning this app and the lack of control over the choice of app... maybe my comment where enough to remove this app?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b9142d169a4874015e00ThriftyWed, 06 Aug 2008 17:22:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b9142d169a4874015e00
I took a screen capture of the iTunes app store page, cropped it, put it in my iPhone photo album, and now can pull up the picture to make it appear that I'm rich, or at least, stupid.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914de149a4857015e00BjornWed, 06 Aug 2008 17:17:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914de149a4857015e00
I have the app on my iPhone.
If anyone wants to buy the phone w/App from me email bjorn.lornsen@gmail.com
The price is $10,000. I prefer to use an escrow service unless you can meet in person in the bay area.

If anyone did, I don't think they are going to admit it.
This is why there is a "coder" shortage!!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c7922059a481c291500ChrrisWed, 06 Aug 2008 16:10:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c7922059a481c291500
Quote Magic_Al:At the time the listing showed zero downloads.
Up to now EVERY app shows zero downloads when displayed on the iPod Touch, even the Top 25. So I guess the counter is not yet working for display.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c792e049a48c1281500Constable OdoWed, 06 Aug 2008 16:06:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c792e049a48c1281500
If you bought it and didn't like it, could you get your money back?
So many arguments of whether it should have been in the App Store or not. If feel sorry for the people that have poor eyesight and thought it was $9.99 because wouldn't think any app would cost $999. There might have been some deception by way of stupidity involved, but I doubt if it violated any of the App store rules.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b9148e039a48aafe5e00Magic_AlWed, 06 Aug 2008 16:03:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b9148e039a48aafe5e00
I don't think anyone bought it. It was pulled from the App Store while I had the listing displayed on my iPod touch. At the time the listing showed zero downloads. I had found it and was going to show it to someone, and by the time I walked across my building, I still had it on the search screen but touching it caused a popup that it was not available. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c79d1029a4874281500J LoveWed, 06 Aug 2008 16:00:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c79d1029a4874281500
I bought it for my new iPhone 3G and then blew it and my blackberry up with fireworks. How do you like them <b><i>Apples</i></b>!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c793d019a4833281500jasonWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:53:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c793d019a4833281500
Ooh, the value of owning the app just went up.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914f6009a481efe5e00palmerWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:52:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914f6009a481efe5e00
For those that may be interested, I will be building the 1 Am Rich iFone app and will make it available at the low-low price of only $499.99. That is 50% off the retail price!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b91479fb99487bfd5e00thaumataWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:28:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b91479fb99487bfd5e00
@Oy: did you seriously just compare an iphone app to genocide? oh my god, i haven't laughed so hard all day.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c7935fa99484d271500AlexWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:23:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c7935fa99484d271500
Don't think anyone's going to own up to buying it...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c79bff89948eb261500oyWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:17:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/1a7a6c79bff89948eb261500
@brent Genocide makes you think too. Why don't people appreciate thinking about these great things? Jeez.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b91440f799489dfc5e00brentWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:10:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b91440f799489dfc5e00
I own an art gallery. It seems like a smart piece to me. And the fact that people are getting so riled up about it makes the piece even stronger. AND as far as art goes, $1000 isn't too bad. This app isn't useful, but it makes you think. Maybe people are against thinking...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914e8f699488afc5e00ctoWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:09:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914e8f699488afc5e00
Sweet, not only was it pricey, now it's also super-rare! (If only there was some kind of iPhone app aftermarket...)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b9147af699487efc5e00Sam KassWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:07:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b9147af699487efc5e00
Robert, Apple has been rumored to take a long time to post updates, but seems to post the first version of apps very quickly. My ChessClock application was submitted Friday afternoon and posted Monday afternoon. I'm prepping 1.1, so I'm curious whether that will fall into the update morass, but I think Apple is giving preference to getting developers apps up in the first place over getting out patch after patch to initially buggy apps.

No need to update - it's gone. Doesn't matter who removed it. I'm actually surprised it got as much attention as it did. Talk about free advertising.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914c4f599486cfc5e00Robert BasilWed, 06 Aug 2008 15:04:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b914c4f599486cfc5e00
What amazes me is Apple takes 2 weeks (or more) to approve many much needed app updates, but something as stupid as this app is approved with no problem.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b91441f39948dcfb5e00richWed, 06 Aug 2008 14:53:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/35b9b91441f39948dcfb5e00
I bought two, and I don't even have an iphone -- but am rich.
